Saturday Night Smackdown: PINK!! OPI vs. Barielle

Hey everybody! Is everybody having a pleasantly peaceful weekend? Good. Now how about a bloody, fearsome battle to the death, where you, the spectator, get to decide who lives and who doesn't??! Oh, okay. So it's not *that* bad. It's more like "vote for your favorite pink." Heh heh...

I have amassed quite a fortune of pinks in the last year...amazing feat, considering that when I first started blogging, I had very few and considered pinks to be one of my least favorite nail colors. My, what a difference a few months make! :D I love pinks, especially those pure pink shades wholly unadulterated by the stench of coral. :P So take a look at today's contestants and vote for your favorite!In the OPI corner, representing Holland 2012, we have Pedal Faster Suzi! *rahhhhhhhhhhhhhh*

I think everybody in creation owns this polish, and I can now call myself one of said everybody after snagging this one in a recent blog sale. Pedal Faster Suzi is a sheer baby pink...and I mean really sheer...with an insane silver shimmer. I had to use 3 coats of this one, and as you can see, Mr. VaNeLi is still strutting around like he owns the joint. *Sigh*. But Pedal Faster Suzi is SOOO pretty...it brings to mind spring flowers, Easter dresses, and that clean baby smell. What...too much caffeine?

The Pink of Fashion is a straight-up creme with Barielle's impeccable creme formula. It's such a perfect Barbie pink that Ken might get confused and show up at YOUR dream house by accident. Apparently, The Pink of Fashion has been retired and isn't *technically* in the Brilliant collection, but there is another pink in that collection called Smarty Pants that looks a whole bunch like it. :) I applied 2 effortless coats of The Pink of Fashion.

So who gets your vote?? Will it be the barely-there pink with loads of shimmer, or the bubblegum pink creme? As for me, although I adore my shimmers, I am going with The Pink of Fashion. <3Thanks for reading, and have a lovely rest of your weekend! :)

Hi Melissa, a wonderful post and very difficult to choose between the two of them. And blogging does this to us - we start to explore those nailracks like well, explorers setting foot on unknown territory - LOL!!! I lke the Barielle for its sweet and happy boldness!!!

I love Pedal Faster Suzi. It was one of my top favorite nail polishes until I found a dupe that was more opaque. It's a Zoya...but I can't remember what her name is now....and I'm at work. Pedal Faster Suzi is my favorite because it has the silvery shimmer that I love...like Butter London Victoriana, Posh Bird, etc. Eeek! So glad you got it.

Pink, especially the lighter tones, is just such a pleasant little color and while it's never one I really reach for, I'm always happy when one somehow manages to materialize on my nails... what? I looooove super pale pink cremes the most... I'll have to go with The Pink of Fashion here. It's absolute perfection on you, too.
